Best of Both Worlds with andLinux

andLinuxandLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system which runs seamlessly in any Windows 2000 based system (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only).

andLinux is easy to download and install so you can, literally, have a Linux system up and running in minutes. I installed the 653 MB KDE version and it works perfectly.

All the standard application packages, including the educational programs, are provided with the full version so you can start experiencing the KDE desktop right away.

andLinux also provides wiki and forum support.

I am not sure if there would be any advantage in having both systems installed in a classroom setting but andLinux certainly provides you with an easy way to experience Linux if you are contemplating a change.

Your own Online Operating System

Online Operating System

Ever wanted to take your desktop with you? Well, now you can with Online Operating System, which I first found on Jane's blog.

With Online Operating System, you gain a complete operating system in your browser, which allows you to organise your online files and documents from anywhere in the world. You can also share this data with other users. 1Gb of disk space is provided.

Online Operating SystemAs well as the file management feature, Online Operating System, also provides for the management of e-mails, appointments and contacts.

A public homepage also comes as standard with domain name: -http://<username>.oos.cc-

Same idea as Ulteo, mentioned in previous posts, but without the availability of all the installed open source software. However, some smaller applications are provided such as calculator, text editor, image viewer, media player and pdf viewer.
